Nick Zano's Once-Embarrassing Name

What can I say? Poor Nick Zano.

Or should I say...Nicholas Crapanzano.

Nick changed his name legally on the 31st of May this year from a frankly unflattering Nicholas Crapanzano to a more sexy, subtle, plain Nick Zano.

The clipping left was taken from the Daily Commerce legal notices, which is apparently a Hollywood favourite for announcements.

I'm not surprised it was in such small print, though.

Keep Up-To-Date With Kristin as she Undergoes Lasik Eye Surgery

Okay, so she's not looking her best. But you have to have respect for K-Cav for agreeing to be filmed without a scrap of make-up, in a rather unsexy hairnet.

Kristin's currently documenting her run-up to Lasik Eye Surgery with a section of online video clips, which you can check out here. Whether you're considering getting Lasik yourself or just want the chance to see Kristin on-screen again, the clips are amusing but also informative so I'd recommend you guys check it out.

Lauren Kanner, of Advanced Medical Optics (AMO), said, "Kristin had made the decision to have LASIK surgery and approached us with the idea of documenting her own experience as a fun way to speak to her fans and others considering the procedure...the medical industry is always looking for ways to earn the public's trust. The very nature of a reality-based program is to draw the audience in, and we thought this was an engaging opportunity for people to live the LASIK surgery experience through Kristin's eyes, not ours." Good pun.

Kristin added, "I am a person with real questions, fears, and ultimately, extreme elation with the end result. AMO gave me the freedom to tell my story, on my terms, with my own friends and family using my own cameras."

Kristin's followed by reality TV crews for one month, and they capture every moment from her doctor's visits, eye tests, the LASIK procedure itself and the aftercare visits.

The series, made up of eight episodes in total (some yet to be broadcast), also includes a blog written by Cavallari and an audiocast of the LASIK experience.

Pre and Post-Op: Heidi's Big Mistake

Oh My God, Heidi. What have you DONE to yourself?!

I'm sure it's not just me who thinks you've made the most stupid, idiotic mistake of your life - your boobs and nose were FINE. You were pretty and cute, now you're just a plastic monster with an asshole of a boyfriend in tow.

In terms of technicalities, Heidi's boob-job is one of the most unnatural-looking ones I've seen in a long time. The point of most sane people's boob jobs are to make them look naturally fuller, but yours? You just look like a token Hollywood bimbo, hair, new nose, white teeth, boobs and all.

You're nearing the 'Spencer' mark on the Stupidity Radar, Heidi. Sort it out.

Kristin Is Still With Her Hottie

I am so fucking jealous of Kristin Cavallari.

She's beautiful, she's tanned, and she is dating one of the hottest men alive. Nick Zano - mmm.

And quashing those Mario Lopez rumours, pictured left is Kristin with Nick at the 9th Annual Young Hollywood Awards on Sunday.

I really think that Kristin's looking better, and healthier, than ever. And there's no need to worry about an upcoming lack of hot Nick Zano pictures because they're still together. Oh, if only...

LC or Kristin - you decide who's hotter

It's a long-running debate; the battle of the Laguna Beach breakout stars.

I have nothing to say other than you make your own mind up. I've put the pictures up, and you can vote at the bottom of this article. So it's up to you; is it all about LC, or is Kristin the cutest?

This isn't a debate of who you liked more on Laguna. This is basically me wanting to get a general view of who's better looking so I can fully judge Stephen's taste in women!

So get voting and please do post a comment letting me know your reasons behind voting - I want to put an end to this debate!

Kristin To Be Filmed Getting Her Eyes Lasered...and She Still Looks Hot

I'm gradually finding newfound love for Kristin Cavallari in my bottomless pit of a heart.

I resented her after Season 2 finished because I never wanted to stop watching her life - she was by far the most intriguing, original character there. In my opinion.

It looks as though my prayers have finally been answered. Kristin's got a new show - and whilst we can't exactly call it TV, I'm still really excited.

Kristin will star in a new reality show which will only be broadcast online, here. It's title is 'RealityLA SIK', and it will follow her as she gets the medical procedure to fix her eyesight problems. The show premieres on May 1st online and Kristin will double up the show with her own blog following her procedures.

Kudos must also be given to Kristin, I feel, for looking really hot lately (this comes from a straight girl, by the way. I can just appreciate it when girls look hot. That doesn't make me a lesbian)! Pictured above left is Kristin at the event of Speedy Gonzales by Two Door Clothing. I love Kristin with long hair. She also looked really hot at Movieline’s Hollywood Life 9th Annual Young Hollywood Awards, as the picture right shows. She really looks good in pink.

I still love you Kristin. I'm sorry I ever questioned it!

Jason Wahler Defines 'Idiot'...Again

Oh, Jason. Jason Jason Jason.

Laguna Beach's born-and-bred bad boy has showed himself up yet again for the total idiot he's become. No, I take that back.

He always was a fucking idiot.

The pictures to the left show Jason and a friend, Jay, playing a game of Russian Roulette in these pictures released exclusively by Us Weekly.

The game was said to be using genuine bullets - and was very dangerous. No kidding.

The pictures were taken last summer but have only just emerged. Within them Jason, 20, and his friend Jay, a rapper, are holding pistols to their heads and proceeding to pull the trigger.

A witness tells Us Weekly, "We were just wasted one night and we ended up back at Jay's house in North Hollywood...everyone was just playing around and they decided to play Russian Roulette. There was one bullet in the gun and Jason and Jay both pointed the gun at their heads and pulled the trigger." Thankfully, no-one was hurt - but this probably won't be the last of Jason's ridiculous antics, as the witness adds, "Jason's out of control. He's out of his f*cking mind."

Jason has been arrested four times in the past nine months for numerous offences that include driving under the influence of alcohol, criminal trespassing and assault. TMZ reports that Jason called the arresting officer a "n*gger", a "f*ggot" and a "poor f*ck".

His most recent arrest was April 9, but he was sentenced in early March to 60 days in an L.A. County Jail. He has until May 4 to turn himself in and start serving time (in this case, for assaulting a worker and two truck drivers in 2006).

Jason is expected in court in North Carolina sometime this week to answer charges of resisting a public officer during an underage drinking sweep, Us Weekly reports. In September of 2006, Jason was arrested in NYC and charged with one couhnt each in resisting arrest and bribery, disorderly conduct and possession of a controlled substance.

I bet LC's glad she got out of that mess.

Kristin Cavallari Probably Isn't Endearing Her Boyfriend

Is it just us, or the last time we checked, didn't Kristin Cavallari have a boyfriend? And the last time we checked - Kristin's boyfriend definitely wasn't Mario Lopez, pictured left.

No fear - the two aren't hooking up. As far as we know, Kristin's still with Nick Zano, and Mario's still with his dancing partner-slash-girlfriend, Karina Smirnoff.

But rumours that Mario is "getting friendly with a beautiful reality show star" do nothing in the twosome's favour...so watch this space.

As much as I hate to say this, because I really do love Kristin - she does milk her celebrity. So whether they've hooked up, or whether they want you to think that to prolong their fifteen minutes...well, that's for us to find out!

In other Kristin news, I am just itching to know what The Hollywood Gossip are hiding from us in this article. It's about Paris Hilton & Kevin Federline partying together, but check out this line...


"What could be more perfect? Plenty of things. Namely Kristin Cavallari in a wet t-shirt...but that's a subject for another time."

I'm waiting...think how many hits the site would get if I got those pictures on here. Calm down, boys!

Laguna Beach Stars Hit Les Deux

Friday night was obviously some sort of youth meeting at Les Deux, as hoards of Laguna Beach alumni hit the club. One source e-mailed:
'Everywhere you looked, these Laguna Beach kids were macking in front of you. Lauren - or 'LC' as I think she's better known - was with a guy, and Hayden Panettiere was with her Laguna Beach boyfriend and his friend. It was sort of gross!'

Oh, and you can bet your ass it was a pretty drama-filled night at the kiddies' make-out club. LC turned up at around midnight with an "unidentified man" - my bet goes on Chris Richardson, the American Idol dude TMZ caught her with recently. According to other reports, the twosome were at a table with MTV's Maui Fever stars Shaunte & Anthony, and Frankie Delgado from Twenty-Four Seven. Shouldn't MTV just buy the clubs already? It seems everyone they've ever worked with is always at one of the main clubs in LA!

Unfortunately for Lauren, her table of fellow reality-TVers was right next to that of ex-beau Brody Jenner, but apparently the two "didn't make eye contact". Oh snaps - that's awkward, LC.

Underage Hayden Panettiere was there with her pal, Rumer Willis (son of Bruce and Demi Moore), Laguna Beach's Dieter Schmitz, and MTV VJ boyfriend Stephen Colletti (at twenty-one, he's four years her senior). I assume further awkwardness was created as Stephen and Hayden made out in front of LC, Stephen's ex who nursed a crush on him for a long time. He coincidentally also dated Kristin Cavallari, Hayden's shopping pal for two years. I'd love to be a fly-on-the-wall for a Laguna reunion, I really would.

Oh, Laguna Beach. I miss the days when all this kind of stuff was caught on camera. At least we have The Hills!

Kristin: putting her money where her mouth is

Kristin Cavallari; admittedly, my favourite Laguna Beach breakout. I always thought Kristin was awesome, and I still do. I've met her, she's pretty, fun and absolutely down-to-earth.

But one thing, Kristin? Where did your need for money come from? Your parents are rich as fuck, you've done well for yourself, so explain this:

Using her brains (you can't deny that, haters - she graduated from LBHS with a 3.6 GPA) - Kristin's found a new way to fill her purse.

Charging club owners for personal appearances, in the hope her presence may feature the nightclubs in popular US magazines. She created a war between two hot Vegas clubs - Tao Las Vegas & Pure Las Vegas, with both offering increasing amounts of dollar to host her 21st birthday event in February of 2008. According to reports, bids are already up to $100,000.

And her fallback? She's put her relationship with MTV's Nick Zano under the spotlight of her favourite photographers, who are paying her for the 'exclusive' rights to pictures of the couple making out.

She sells the photos to tabloid papers who in turn pay her. According to a spy quoted in The Hollywood Gossip, this "infuriates event organisers who pay her to attend their events because they only get C-rate photos for their use".

However, Cavallari's representative defends this money-hounding, claiming they have had "nice offers" to host Kristin's 21st, and she has "not yet chosen one". Waiting for the biggest offer, hmm, Kristin? According to the same rep, she is trying to "control these uncomfortable situations" and "work with photographers [she knows and trusts]."

Hey Kristin; I love you, but your fifteen minutes are up. Stop milking it, and wait for offers to come to you. That's how to maintain your dignity in the cut-throat world of celebrity.
